Synopsis

Dr. Patrick Morana has an unusual gift. He can sense how and when a person died. Choosing to use his talents as a medical examiner for St. Louis County was easy. What wasn't so easy was dealing with an ancient demon wreaking havoc on the city streets. When Nataliya is chosen for a forensic pathology fellowship under him, Patrick finds himself interested in something he's never allowed himself to want before. It isn't long before Nataliya discovers secrets about Patrick that he's been hiding his entire life. Secrets as to how he can sense the manner of death, how he knows what's stalking the streets of their city, and how he knew she was pregnant before she did. With the help of a disillusioned FBI agent and a soon-to-be-divorced police detective, Patrick knows he has to get rid of the demon before it's too late. Because it's not like the St. Louis Police Department has a demon hunting squad.
